I'm a Unix moron (hence the use of MacOS X), and I can't seem to get
nmh-1.0.4 to install on my system. Make claims that the install target is

powerpc-apple-machten5.5, which -- except for the part about not
installing -- seemed to work.)
Here's what I did (after reading INSTALL and MACHINES):
% ./configure --host=powerpc-apple-machten5.5 --enable-debug \
--prefix=/usr/local
...configuring, blah blah...
% make
...making, blah blah...
% make install
make: `install' is up to date.
Is MacOS X filenames case-insensitive? If so, make could be checking
the file INSTALL when invoking the 'install' target.
You could try adding the following at the top of Makefile,
.PHONY: install
and rerun 'make install'.
It would probably be worthwhile to have .PHONY defined within the
nmh makefiles for all targets that are not associated with a specific
file.
